What is a good paper weight for wedding invitations?

A typical paper weight for wedding invitations is 120 lb cardstock. If you're printing at home it may be too thick for your printer, so we recommend going down between 80 lb - 120 lb. weight.

Can I print my own wedding invitations?

•  It's much easier to get your invitations printed from an online vendor saving you time cutting and frustration with at-home printers.

•  If you already have a printer it is possible to print at home as long as you purchase thicker quality paper stock and we recommend downloading your final designs with the crop marks showing.
